For Sale

Unlike comic book artists, comic book writers have no original art or commissions to sell. What we do have are photocopies or printouts of many of the comic book scripts, series proposals, and book manuscripts that we've written. In my case, that includes stories for a wide range of characters, from Superman and Green Lantern to Archie Andrews and Scooby Doo...including some unpublished comic book scripts featuring Hawkman, Green Lantern, Supergirl, and Superboy. Please see a list of what is available, below.

I will happily personalize and autograph any script so please indicate how you would like me to sign.

I also have limited copies of comic books and books I have written or featuring stories I have written. These are also available personalized and autographed.

NEW ITEMS ARE ADDED ALL THE TIME!

Orders are placed by contacting me at pkupperberg@yahoo.com. Please include the items you want, the quantity, how you want them personalized and/or autographed, and your mailing address.

Shipping is $5.00 (USPS Priority Mail). I'll ship multiple items together, as long as they fit in a Priority Mail envelope. Payment is made through PayPal.

All characters and titles are trademark and copyright by their respective owners. I do not sell any scripts before the stories have been published, except in the case of scripts that have been written off and will never see publication. These scripts are solely for entertainment and educational purposes. No rights to reproduce or publish this material in any manner, shape, or medium is attached to the sale and are not mine to grant.

Included are three previously published short stories, "Reflected Glory," (from the anthology Superheroes), "Food For the Beast" (from Fear Itself), and "Man Bites Dog" (from Vampires: Dracula and the Undead Legions), as well as three never-before-published pieces:

Hitler's Bellhop, a story told by a film magazine essay and the lost fragments of a Jerry Lewis screenplay that never was but, really, could have been;

A Stone for the Grave of Mr. Aronson, a mood piece about a man's last hour of life, set in a lonely graveyard;

The Zombie King, a piece of flash fiction that takes a Roger Cormanish look at the New Testament.

The cover is courtesy of Kansas City's own Rick Stasi, my pal and graphic artist extraordinaire.

I've launched my own eBook imprint, Buffalo Avenue Books, and my first offering, Two Tales of Atlantis is now available. It contains two connected short stories, "Walk Upon the Waters" and "Passed Lives," 15,000 words of sword & sorcery goodness (from the creator of Arion, Lord of Atlantis, I should point out!) for a mere $3.99 (minus 20% if you used promo code XC37T when you order!)...about what you'd pay for a comic book that it takes you all of five minutes to read!

eBook Price: $3.99 USD. 15170 words. Fiction by Paul Kupperberg and published by Buffalo Avenue Books on November 30, 2010.

Paul Kupperberg (writer/creator of the DC Comics series Arion, Lord of Atlantis) creates a new Atlantean realm in these two stories of an immortal sorcerer and his oft-reincarnated warrior lover. In “Walk Upon the Waters,” the sorcerer Thalis sails on the enchanted ship Yar with only his memories of those he has lost for companionship as he heads into the final battle for the destiny of Atlantis. Then, in “Passed Lives,” an aging peasant awakens in the middle of her ordinary life to realize she is Khana, the latest reincarnation of Thalis’ warrior lover and must leave her family and home to go off to war and find her lost love...and learn which of the two hearts beating within her she must follow.

My second book, In My Shorts: Hitler's Bellhop and Other Stories, will be on sale December 14!
